The Devil's in the Details - Foreclosures
By Numerian Posted by Michael Collins
It seems, therefore, that millions of foreclosures that have occurred in the past two years may be invalid. Investors who were part of the $8,000 tax credit program may not have valid mortgages and may not legally have the right to live in their home. Title insurance companies have stopped accepting mortgage titles from GMAC and other financial firms implicated in this situation. Numerian
PermalinkNew Internet Censorship Bill Introduced
by Stephen Lendman
Like most others in Congress, Senator Patrick Leahy is no progressive. He voted to fund imperial wars, regressive Obamacare, Wall Street-friendly financial reform, and other pro-business measures, including agribusiness-empowering bills, harming small farmers and consumers.
Now he's at it again. On September 20, he introduced S. 3804: Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (COICA), "A bill to combat online infringement, and for other purposes." Referred to committee, it awaits further action. In fact, it needs a dagger thrust in its heart to kill it.
US War Crimes in Fallujah
by Stephen Lendman
Numerous previous articles documented two decades of US war crimes in Iraq, the latest titled, "One of History's Greatest Crimes," accessed through the following link: sjlendman.blogspot.com
On August 31, declaring an "end to the combat mission in Iraq," Obama disgracefully said: "Through this remarkable chapter in the history of the United Stated and Iraq, we have met our responsibility," infamously displaying his culpability as a war criminal, matching the worst America ever produced. Daily he proves it in Iraq, Afghanistan, and by reckless global marauding.
The American message to Palestinians and Arabs
Salim Nazzal
Obama started his Mideast involvement by demanding that Israel stop building settlements. The settlements are the land the government of Israel stealing from Palestine to construct housing project for Jews only. Streets only for Jews, schools only for Jews, and so forth. These settlements are constructed on hilly areas to put the Palestinian villages under its mercy. These settlements have destroyed the ecological system in Palestine because they are made without any consideration to the ecological system; their only consideration is the interest of Jews and only Jews even if Palestinians go to hell.
Obama is rolling the dice and playing the numbers
By Von Helman
One thing is for certain, anything that comes out of Washington DC regardless of political alignment or the person spewing it, or even if it’s from political pundits within the MSM all of it contains numbers.
There is a fascination for numbers, and there are numbers attached to almost everything these days. I invite you to pick up any recent news story from any news source you prefer and read the top three political stories and I will almost bet the farm there is mention of numbers in the article somewhere.
Whether it’s Obama’s approval ratings which contain low numbers or the national deficit which contains too many numbers there are numbers all over DC. Now that election time is again upon us we will also be seeing how much the black tie political fund-raising dinners cost per plate which get you your 1 minute photo op with your favorite political. Then there will be the numbers in terms of how much each candidate has spent on their campaign and how much it will cost to investigate any wrong doing within that same campaign once the final votes are counted in terms of numbers. Then once in office all of these newly elected politicians will also spend their time worrying about their own approval numbers.
Failed Washington-Sponsored Ecuadorean Coup Attempt
by Stephen Lendman
Post-9/11, Washington sponsored four coup d'etats. Two succeeded - mostly recently in Honduras in 2009 against Manuel Zelaya, and in Haiti in 2004 deposing Jean-Bertrand Aristide. Two others failed - in Venezuela in 2002 against Hugo Chavez, and on September 30 in Ecuador against Rafael Correa - so far. Two by Bush, two by Obama with plenty of time for more mischief before November 2012.
From his record so far, expect it. He continues imperial Iraq and Afghanistan wars and occupations. In addition, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Palestine, Lebanon, North Korea, and other countries are targeted, besides deploying CIA and Special Forces armies into at least 75 countries worldwide for targeted assassinations, drone attacks, and other disruptive missions.
THE MACRO-ECONOMICS OF PHONY TERROR AND CONTRIVED CONFLICT
By Gordon Duff
HOW MERCHANTS OF DEATH RULE THE WORLD
Both elements of “Al Qaeda” along with its clear history as a CIA established organization make every mention of it suspicious. Whenever there is a need for a “wag the dog”news story, “Al Qaeda” is dragged out as the whipping boy. Never has any organization, one as mysterious and insubstantial as this one, whose supposed leader, Osama bin Laden, has not only been dead for years but when he was alive, not only worked directly for the CIA but comes from a family directly tied to, not only the Bush family, but, in fact, close friends and business partners for decades at every level.
In struggle with the American mind
by William Blum
America means well; our motives are noble...
Since The Great Flood hit Pakistan in July
- many millions have been displaced, evacuated, stranded or lost their homes; numerous roads, schools and health clinics destroyed
- hundreds of villages washed away
- millions of livestock have perished; for the rural poor something akin to a Western stock market crash that wipes out years of savings
- countless farms decimated, including critical crops like corn; officials say the damage is in the hundreds of millions of dollars and it does not appear that Pakistan will recover within the next few years
- infectious diseases are rising sharply
- airplanes of the United States of America have flown over Pakistan and dropped bombs on dozens of occasions 1
